The 1969 Corvette is one of my dream cars...



If they changed the rear on that concept, just kept it straight with a small lip and the classic tail lights, but kept the front fenders, it would be a true thing of beauty.

It's a concept. It'll never come into production looking like that.

American autos need to stop with this retro/tribute deal and come out with NEW designs.

Do you have the same sentiments about Jordans? I don't have a problem with future thinking when it comes to automotive design, but a lot of cars got progressively worse before they went back to what's tried and true.

Ford Mustang
Generation 1: Classic styling
Generation 2: Ugly
Generation 3: Uglier (save for some of the later 5.0s)
Generation 4: I liked the 95 - 98, then they got ugly again with the edges from 99-04
Generation 5: Went retro and really got it right, but this new model they got out just doesn't have the right styling....

Chevrolet Corvette
C1: Classic
C2: Classic
C3: Classic
C4: Horrible (except for the zr1/grand sport)
C5: better...
C6: perfection
C7: eh

Chevrolet Camaro
Generation 1: Classic
Generation 2: only 1970, everything after started slipping
Generation 3: pretty nasty, late model IROC was alright
Generation 4: 93-97 had nasty headlights, 98-02 didn't really get it right either...
Generation 5: did a pretty good job bringing it back

All of the Dodge models...great styling on the Challenger, that's about all (Charger is ugly).

Retro seems to work.

Same could be said for Jordans I guess....1-12 worked ok, 13-23 are pretty nasty, and they keep retroing and re-releasing the 1-12 because they sell.

Originality in just about all of American styling is dead.
